. It depends on the data. Text files (eg, web pages) will usually compress very well, but most audio/video files are already compressed and will seldom gain much from further compression. Don't expect 100:1 compression, even for text files.
. If you have a lot of small files, even if already compressed, you can usually gain some room by archiving then into just one file (eg, TAR).

+1 (ie, agreed).
Depends entirely on what your data is. English text can fairly easily be compressed to about a third of its size. XML markup compresses very well. A binary data file which is mostly zeros will compress like crazy; a data file containing truly random numbers probably won't compress at all. And a file which is already compressed will probably not compress further.
So unless there's something odd about your data, you'll be fairly lucky to get 10:1 reduction, never mind the 100:1 you're looking for.
